3-Minute Brownie made in a Mug

The 3-Minute Brownie made in a Mug makes a great giveaway for the holiday season. But should you need a little “gift” for yourself, you can have this delicious delight ready for your own indulgence within 3-minutes. Made up with a bow these are really cute, inexpensive stocking stuffers that are guaranteed to satisfy the most earth-shaking chocolate attack. Mm, molten!

Put mixture into greased mug. Cook on High (1000 watts) setting for 3 minutes. The brownie will rise over the top of the mug, that’s OK as it will drop back down. Allow to cool a bit, tip out onto a plate. Yield: 1 serving, but easily serves two. The brownie is very rich, similar to a molten chocolate cake. Top with ice cream or whipped topping, if desired.

To make as gifts: Put the dry ingredients into a small clear treat bag and secure with a twisty. Place in a large, microwave proof mug. Print out the gift tag with instructions (see below), punch a hole in the corner of tag and attach with a decorative ribbon and a miniature candy cane, if desired. Write receivers name on back of tag. Chocolate has its own special way of saying I’m thinking of you.
